Skip if
You need a large volume bottle for a big dog or multiple pets, since this one comes in a smaller 8 oz size, or you want a gentle everyday shampoo rather than an emergency odor treatment.

Overview
["Skunk Off Pet Shampoo is a ready-to-use, non-enzymatic formula from Odorcide, built for one specific job: eliminating skunk odor from dogs, cats, home surfaces, carpet, and cars. The directions call for working the shampoo thoroughly into the coat down to skin level, including hard to reach spots like between the toes, since there's no way to know exactly where the spray landed.", 'It comes in an 8 oz bottle, smaller than some of the other de-skunking shampoos in this lineup, and the product has been on the market since 2004, giving it a long track record for this specific use case.', "At $11.95, it's priced similarly to other targeted odor shampoos, and with 3,034 reviews and a 4.2 star average, it has one of the larger review counts among shampoos in this roundup, reflecting how common the skunk problem is for dog owners."]

Performance notes
As a non-enzymatic, ready-to-use liquid, this shampoo is meant to be worked thoroughly into the coat down to the skin, per the manufacturer's directions, with a repeat treatment recommended if odor persists after the first wash and rinse. Its 8 oz size is compact enough for quick access when skunk trouble strikes unexpectedly.
What buyers say
With 3,034 reviews and a 4.2 star average, plus about 700 units bought in the past month, this shampoo has a substantial and active customer base, consistent with it being a common emergency purchase rather than a routine restock.

Yes, it's a ready-to-use, non-enzymatic formula that doesn't require mixing or dilution.
What if the odor doesn't go away after one wash?
